    £300 how would you spend it?

    The Gigabyte Z87M-D3H was £97.99 last time I looked. I would say get the H100 for an extra tenner.

    System switching off randomly

    Thanks for all the help guys. The funny thing is sometimes the system will run for hours without any problems. Will have to wait until Sunday to start testing each part separately.

    System switching off randomly

    All seems okay in terms of connection etc. Could it be the mobo or PSU? I really hope it's not.

    System switching off randomly

    Don't think it's anything like that, it was running fine OCed up to 3.8GHz for 3 years until now. But I will double check

    **Gigabyte Super OC GTX 480's - VERY LOW PRICES!**

    Your probably right But the fact that it wont work is bugging me now. I get the following message: "Initialization failed. Maybe you don't install the driver correctly!" Plus all the power phaze LEDs are constantly on, even when the card auto downclocks to 51MHz.

    fair RMA replacement for a GTX 480?

    After reading reviews the 570 is tempting, would also leave me £70 odd in pocket. Then again a £20-30 inverstment gets me a 580. been looking around the interweb for an EVGA SuperClocked GTX580, just can't seem to find one.

    fair RMA replacement for a GTX 480?

    Quick update guys. Just got off the phone to the retailer & it looks like they are going to give me a full refund:D Now do I buy an EVGA 570 Superclocked (pocket the remainder of the cash), or add a little money and get a 580?:confused:

    fair RMA replacement for a GTX 480?

    Well the my Zotac came with a 5yr warrany compared to Gigabytes 2yr, I bought the Zotac for its warranty & at the time the price reflected that. I guess I would be happy with a: 570 with equal warranty or A better performing card with less waranty

    fair RMA replacement for a GTX 480?

    they initially offered me Gigabyte GTX 480, but I rejected it as the warranty is inferior to the 5 years I had on the Zotac

    fair RMA replacement for a GTX 480?

    Is a 570 really comparable? I game on a 26" @ 1920 x 1200 I've not been keeping up with new card performance
